Chapter 247 A Five-Person Showdown (Part 3)
The screams didn't startle Karin at all; instead, she was drawn to another burning gaze.
Huali turned her head unintentionally and met the gaze of the crowd staring intently at her double pupils.
Zhan Li's face held a complex expression she couldn't decipher, his eyes burning with a fire that seemed poised to ignite at any moment.
Hua Li continued looking at his side without pausing, and there stood Fen Yu, whom she hadn't seen since their parting with the Wu Clan.
Seeing the girl looking over, Fen Yu's eyes softened, and he gently nodded to Hua Li.
Burning Rain has arrived, so what? Huali scanned the area again and, sure enough, saw the annoying spirit Wuyu.
Wu Yu was reluctantly preparing to greet her when Hua Li rolled her eyes at her, making Wu Yu so angry she almost fell over.
Those who were closely watching Huali's expression naturally also saw the three members of the Wu clan.
Shen Yuwenjin and Lian Zhuo didn't have much interaction with Zhan Lifenyu, but they could sense something was wrong just from their eyes, not to mention Luo Chuan and Yan Xi.
Luo Chuan immediately thought of the look in Fen Yu's eyes when he looked at Hua Li in the Burial God Abyss during his time with the Wu Clan, and the curve of his lips deepened.
There are just too many things that are an eyesore.
His young girl was beautiful, confident, and strong; naturally, she deserved everyone's admiration and affection. But if that affection took a turn for the worse, then it was a different kind of death.
On the other side, Yan Xi almost instantly shed his soft facade, revealing undisguised malice.
Li Yuan and Zhan Li, those two eyesores, how dare they come here?
Li Yuan in Cangminghai's three dreams, Zhan Li in Jiangling showing concern for Huali, each one left Yan Xi with a lingering unease.
He can't kill the people around him right now, but those two are a different story...
The undercurrents flowed strangely, but Karin paid no attention to discern them; her attention was focused on something else.
The girl bent down and picked up Ao Bai, who was picking up pearls. "Bai, something's not right. You said Zhan Li and the others are all here, doesn't that mean Ran Ran is here too?"
Ao Bai closed his eyes and sensed, "I can barely sense the aura of the other party's system now, they should be nearby."
A person and a cat stared at each other.
"That's not right, we're so close, why didn't you vomit blood?" Ao Bai's cat-like eyes widened. "Could it be..."
"It seems that after the power of the divine artifacts was fused, your headquarters has been restricting me less and less," Huali analyzed. "I suddenly had an idea. You said that a single Reincarnation Sundial is this powerful, so if I were to fuse all the divine artifacts into it at the same time, wouldn't I be invincible?"
"What did you say about that big pie you tricked me into believing before?" Huali thought for a moment, "It said it possessed supreme power and treasure, and could even open a portal to another dimension?"
Ao Bai nodded, "Yes, but I don't know if it's the divine artifact that's more powerful, or the cards that are more powerful after all the stars are lit up."
“But isn’t the power of these stars my own power?” Huali pondered.
"They were originally just basic cards, which I obtained by completing tasks. Let's call this 'energy' for now, and I used it to nourish and light up the stars. But obviously, energy is not a power directly given by the system, so I can continue to use it through spiritual power."
"In this sense, the headquarters system is actually just a middleman who makes the difference."
"It has resources and collects this energy by issuing tasks... But that doesn't make sense. I have all the energy. What did it get after going through all this trouble?"
Ao Bai was furious. "That's why it doesn't like us. It used to be able to reply to me from time to time, but now it's impossible to contact us at all."
"It's alright, let's try it on a small scale first. It's only a matter of time before we run into Ranran in Linfeng County. We'll find a way to investigate then."
Seeing that Huali's brows were slightly furrowed, the Buddhist monk asked in a gentle voice, "Are you tired?"
"No." Huali shook her head, then suddenly tiptoed closer to Lianzhuo, "Has your...thing been acting up lately?"
The girl's fragrant breath burned against his ear, her long, raven-feather-like eyelashes trembled, and she slowly shook her head, "It's alright."
Huali, skeptical, turned to look at the lotus mark on his forehead. "It's alright, I already have a plan..."
"A fairy!"
Before Huali could speak, she was interrupted by a laughing voice. She looked up and saw the host of the audition giving her a wry smile. "Why don't you take your... um... husbands... somewhere else to chat?"
"Husband?!"
Ao Bai's Big Bread screams!
Tang Wanwan and the cat instantly hugged each other and retreated five hundred meters on the spot!
The moment that word appeared, it was like a bolt from the blue striking everyone present.
Shen Yu's face instantly turned bright red! Lian Zhuo's hand, which was holding the Buddhist prayer beads, paused, and Wen Jin slowly raised his head... Luo Chuan's smile froze, and a dark glint flashed quickly in Yan Xi's eyes...
Huali was stunned for two seconds before she reacted, "Huh? No no no no..." Who has five husbands? Wait, that's not the point, the point is she doesn't have any!
The female host looked doubtful; having studied the scripts for many years, she immediately saw through the trick.
Moreover, she had a very strong impression of these people.
At that time, the offline store of Xianbo Secret Realm was short-staffed, so she was transferred to work as a receptionist.
She still vividly remembers the night the secret realm opened ahead of schedule, when these people spent a fortune to get the girl's painting to the top spot.
Because she had a sudden inspiration and invested in spirit stones, her returns doubled.
Huali! Her lucky charm!
Unfortunately, she's still at work and can't talk to the God of Wealth.
"Then you'll take your friend somewhere else?"
It was only then that Karin belatedly realized that the people who were supposed to be watching the selection process were now gathered around them. Because of the distance, she hadn't noticed them at all.
The remaining contestants on stage were standing there because no one had voted for them, trying to kill these damned scene-stealing monsters with their eyes.
"Let's go! Let's leave right now!"
Hua Li's face flushed red, and she shooed him away like a chicken, saying, "Don't make a fuss, go home and talk about it."
At this moment, the group of people, who had different thoughts, suddenly reached a high degree of consensus.
Huali's magnificent attire was breathtakingly beautiful; every ray of light seemed like a silent invitation, attracting countless gazes that made them feel uneasy.
Now is the best time to leave.
The men, who had been at odds and refusing to give way, suddenly stepped forward in unison and surrounded the girl with perfect coordination.
Their movements were so fast and their steps so synchronized, as if they had rehearsed it a thousand times.
At the very moment of the united evacuation—
Luo Chuan glanced at the female host with his heterochromatic eyes hidden beneath his mask, a lazy smile on his face. "You need to work on your eyesight. That girl is mine alone."
Shen Yu, who was nearby, snorted coldly, not backing down. Although the young general's ears were red, his voice was resolute, "When I marry her, I will definitely invite you to my wedding banquet."
The host, who had inadvertently entered into this chaotic situation with a single sentence, was surprised to find herself involved and immediately nodded politely, "So, you two... good luck?"
Upon hearing this, the young woman felt a chill run down her spine.
Wen Jin's unfathomable eyes were already fixed on her. "She's mine."
The young woman's smile began to tremble.
Fortunately, Lian Zhuo, who was half a step behind, said "Amitabha" and rescued her from the cold storage.
The host's eyes lit up. What a kind person!
Just as everyone was about to step into the formation, she gave Lian Zhuo a thumbs-up, saying, "Master, I have the most faith in you."
Yan Xi, who was at the back, turned around, glanced at her indifferently, and slightly parted his lips.
The girl who was cheering for Renju froze, then changed her tone and shouted, "Little Bird, Karin loves you the most!!"
Sensing the four people in front of him freeze simultaneously, Yan Xi stepped into the formation with satisfaction.
On stage—
The young woman was completely bewildered after the words of power disappeared. "Wait a minute? Who's Little Bird?"

Watching helplessly as Huali stepped into the teleportation array and disappeared, Wuyu looked at Fenyu with disappointment and frustration.
"Brother, don't you like rosewood? Why didn't you go up when you had such a good opportunity?"
"And then there's Huali!" Wu Yu's eyes flashed with disdain. "Before, in the Burial God Abyss, I thought she and Luo Chuan were truly sworn to each other, their love stronger than gold."
"In the blink of an eye, so many people have appeared around me. She really has a knack for seduction."
"Ayu, stop talking nonsense." Fenyu frowned and interrupted her. "Huali is not what you think. Be careful what you say."
Wu Yu was furious. Back in the Wu Clan, she always tried to protect Hua Li's brother whenever they met, and now that they were in Linfeng County, it was the same thing.
She was about to retort when Zhan Li beat her to it, "Fen Yu, you like rosewood?!"
Fen Yu was taken aback by the question that came out of her mouth. After a wry smile, she nodded, "That's true."
Zhan Li, who had been holding his arms, suddenly let them go, as if he had been burned by something, and his body tensed up almost imperceptibly.
A surge of intense shock mixed with indescribable excitement shot straight to the top of his head: "You actually like her?"
Seeing Fen Yu and Wu Yu looking over with suspicion, Zhan Li disregarded his own loss of composure.
No wonder he noticed something was wrong with Fen Yu when he returned to the Witch Clan last time. He even joked that Fen Yu had been bewitched by some girl...
Unexpectedly, this person was actually Huali...
Severing his turbulent emotions, he clenched his fist.
Just as his rare anger had nowhere to go, he looked up and happened to meet Li Yuan's gaze from the other end of the crowd, who was equally excited.
